| | Aquatic Pathogens-Protozoans |
 | | The intestine is a large place for a protozoan and no one really knows how many oocysts it takes to establish an infection in humans. | | | Taxonomically, Giardia and microsporidia are probably not protozoans but rather prokaryotes, archeozoa or some other intermediary stage in evolution. | | | The list of protozoan pathogens gives some indication of the scope of the field. |

| | The long term goal of this work is to understand basic molecular mechanisms in protozoan parasites with the goal of discovering and applying parasite specific interventions. | | | The approach my laboratory has taken is to develop methods for molecular genetic manipulation of protozoan parasites in order to begin functional analysis of genes important for parasite virulence, with an emphasis of mechanisms of drug resistance in parasites. | | | The immediate goal of the research is to test the hypothesis that these mdr-like genes are indeed the cause of drug resistance in protozoan parasites. |

| | Following ingestion by an appropriate prey the parasite will cross the intestinal epithelium and infect internal organs or tissues within the host, where it waits for the next predator to ingest its prey. | | | Vector transmission is the other strategy used by protozoan parasites which inhabit the blood or internal tissues within its host. | | | Several human diseases caused by protozoa are transmitted by a variety of arthropod vectors (Table). |
